How to Check Power Steering
Fluid
To check the power steering fluid:
1. Turn the key off and let the
engine compartment cool down.
2. Remove the engine cover, if
required. See Engine Cover on
page 9-7.
3. Wipe the cap and the top of the
reservoir clean.
4. Unscrew the cap and wipe the
dipstick with a clean rag.
5. Replace the cap and completely
tighten it.
6. Remove the cap again and look
at the fluid level on the dipstick.
The level should be within the HOT
mark. If necessary, add only enough
fluid to bring the level within the
mark.
What to Use
To determine what kind of fluid to
use, see Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 10-3. Always use
the proper fluid.
